1951 Nobel prize winner in chemistry
Glenn T. Seaborg in front of the periodic table. Photograph 1950. The element 106 of the table,
Seaborgium, is named after him. He also identified the proper location of element 90
Thorium within the table. He synthesized over a hundred
actinide isotopes and here he is photographed with an
ion exchanger apparatus of actinide elements.
Support. Significantly more interesting than the older-age head-and-shoulders shot that leads the article. Decent quality (although his suit seems more in focus than his face; probably this compromise was necessary to make the periodic table legible) and high EV. —
